For any truth seeking citizens of the United States who may be interested in real statistics, instead of the propaganda the Biden-Harris administration and their coharts within mainstream legacy media are churning out, we suggest going straight to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Avoid the categories U-1 through U-5. Go directly to U-6.

This is not only the total unemployed, as defined by the current White House, but it includes:

● all marginally attached workers

● total employed part time for economic reasons (not only as a percent of the civilian labor force), plus all marginally attached workers.

First, let’s take a look at US unemployment during President Donald J. Trump’s year in office just prior to the COVID pandamic scam:

Today, all states totaled have 7.6% unemployment (as of the date of this writing) while Big Media attempts to report the U-5 (a partial figure) of 4.6% to make them appear better than reality.

The true U-6 unemployment rate for two of the most populated areas in the US are Los Angeles County at 11.5% and New York City at 9.2%.

In their most recent report the Labor Bureau indicated which states had highest levels of decreases in hiring:

The largest decreases in the hires level occurred in California  
(-71,000), Michigan (-49,000), and Tennessee (-39,000). The increases occurred in Colorado (+22,000), 
Montana (+10,000), and Alaska (+3,000).

“Some states with extreme measures, either low or high, maintained their general place in the rankings of alternative measures over the year,” the Labor Bureau noted.

“Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Vermont had rates among the 10 lowest for each measure in the four quarters ending June 2023 and those ending June 2024.”

“Similarly, California, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, and the District of Columbia had rates among the 10 highest for each measure in both periods.”
